THOUGHT TO BE LEEDS, LOCATION UNKNOWN

probably Holbeck, you know where they've pulled down those flats, looks like it could have been taken from near that Spinning Wheel pub at bottom of Dewsbury Road

Cant name a current street, it looks like Little London taken between North St. and Camp Road looking North West

The second block from the left does have the look of one of the towers that stood by the side of Holbeck Moor,. However I can't see how it could be viewed from the east as Jon suggests. I can't remember any flats between Hunslet Moor and Holbeck Moor other than Crescent Grange and Towers, both still standing, and at least 3 of the other blocks in the photo look closer than the block similar to those on Holbeck Moor.There is still one high rise on the Holbeck side and I seem to recollect at least one more towards Jack Lane/Sweet but while there is a lot of recent housing in Holbeck that might have been built on the wasteland I can't really see anything to nail it as Holbeck. Unless anyone knows different

The ten storey flats were demolished about three years ago the block of three twelve storey flats abut Claypit Lane.
